Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF1EC-13P-2.5DSA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Number of positions (13)
• Pitch specification (2.5mm)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct equivalents. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to product status and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF1EC-13P-2.5DSA(05) is a direct functional equivalent to the DF1EC-13P-2.5DSA. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector configuration, contact ratings, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions.

The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete while the DF1EC-13P-2.5DSA(05) maintains active status. Additionally, the substitute part carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity levels and export classifications.

For new designs and ongoing production requiring this connector type, the DF1EC-13P-2.5DSA(05) is the appropriate selection due to its active availability and regulatory compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF1EC-13P-2.5DSA(05) be used as a direct replacement for DF1EC-13P-2.5DSA?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The connector type, position count, pitch, contact ratings, mounting method, and operating specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the "(05)" designation in the part number?

A: The "(05)" suffix indicates a revision or variant designation assigned by the manufacturer. In this case, it identifies the active production version with RoHS compliance.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: No. Contact lengths, insulation height, mated stacking heights, and all other physical dimensions are identical between the two parts.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance status different between the two parts?

A: The original DF1EC-13P-2.5DSA is classified as obsolete and predates current RoHS requirements. The DF1EC-13P-2.5DSA(05) is the active production equivalent manufactured to current regulatory standards.

Q: What is the current rating for this connector?

A: Both parts are rated for 3A continuous current per contact.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: Both parts operate across -35°C to 85°C.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and maintain moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited shelf life). Selection should be based on specific application requirements and regulatory compliance needs.
